Sl'o MM ml/10772 H; 727/151, eon/111171,:

Be it known that .l', Hun RY RosnN'ruAL, a citizen of the United States. and a resident of the city of New York. borough of Mai'ihattan, in the county and State of New York, have invented a new and improved Barbcrs Antiseptic Utensil, of which the following is a full, clear. and exact description.

The invention relates to barbers supplies; and its object is to provide a new and improved barbers antiseptic u tensil, insuring to the person to be shaved at a barber-shop the use of an antiseptic shaving-cup, an antiseptic brush, and antiseptic soap.

The invention consists of novel features and parts and combinations of the same, as will be more fully described hereinafter and then pointed out in the claims.

A practical embodiment of the invention is represented in the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the brushhandle and the sealed cup containing the brushbody and the soap. Fig. 2 is a sectional side elevation of the unsealed cup and the brush in position for making the lather; and Fig. 3 is a side view of the bi'uslnbody, the bristles thereof being inelosed in a paper cover.

The shaving-cup A, of glass or other suitable material and for use in a barber-shop. contains a brush-body B and a piece of soap U, the cup being closed by a seal l), of paper or other suitable material, which can be readily broken by the barber to gain access to the interior of the cup, the soap U, and the brushbody l) to allow the barber to remove the brush-body B from the cup and connect it with a handle B to complete the brush, the latter then being used with the soap C and water added to form the usual lather in the cup. lln order to secu rely connect the brushbody B with the handle it, the said bruslr body is formed of a bunch of bristles B. inclosed at their butt-ends in a ferrule B preferably made of metal and litting into a socket B. formed on the handle B, the brush-body it being steadied in the said socket B" by a suitable steadying-pin l secured to the handle l3 and extending centrally in the socket B to pass into the butt-ends of the bunch of bristles B (See Fig. 2.) The forward end ofthe ferrule ii is preferably provided with a flange 1-3 bent outwardly upon the outer surface of the ferrule B, the flange forming an annular bevel for engagement by the outer edge of the socket B", so that when the barber pushes the ferrule it in engagement with the socket B then the outer edge thereof in engaging the said bevel forms a firm contact with the flange to securely hold the ferrule, and consequently the body of the brush. in place on the handle it.

in practice it is proposed to render the cup A conmletel; antiseptic, likewise the soap 0 and the brush-bod y B, it being understood that after the parts are rendered antiseptic the brush-body l3 and the soap (3 are placed in position in the cup A and then the latter is scaled up by the seal l), and in this sealed condition the cup containing the brush-body B and the soap (l is delivered to the barber in a com pletely antiseptic condition. The barber is provided with the handle B, and when it is desired to shave a customer the barber lirst breaks the seal l), then removes the body B, and connects the same with the handle B, so as to form a complete brush, the latter then being used to form the usual lather in the cup A, by the use of the soap (l and water added in the cup. After the barber is through shaving he disconnects the brush-body it from the handle B, then replaces the brush-body in the unsealed cup A, which latter is then again ren dcred antiseptic by the sup jily-house and likewise the brush-body it and soap U, and when the parts are again assembled in the cup the latter rescaled. to be again delivered to the barber for use. Thus all the barber retains is the handle 13', and the antiseptic sealed cups A, containing the brush-body B and the soap (l, a re supplied. preferably. lai ly to the barber. so that each customer can see that an unsealed cup is used---that is, the barber breaks the seal l) in the presence of the customer and connccts the body B with the handle B and forms the lather before starting to shave.

By the arrangement described the customer is protected against unsanitary conditions of the cup, brush, and soap.

In practice the ferrule B extends uppermost in the cup A, so that the barber can readily take hold of the metallic ferrule without touching the bristles B when connecting the brush-body B with the handle B; but, if desired, the bristles B may be inclosed in a paper cover B, as shown in Fig. 3, which is removed after the ferrule B is engaged with the socket 13* of the handle B.

It is understood that the supply-house on the return of the used cup and brush-body resterilizes both, and in doing so it is desirable to disconnect the bunch of bristles from the ferrule to allow of spreading the bristles dur ing the washing and sterilizing process. After Washing and sterilizing the bristles they are again bunched and placed back into the ferrule Without the use of cement or like binding substance.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. A barbers sanitary utensil, comprising a shaving-cup having a closure in the form of a breakable seal, and a brush formed of a body and a handle removable from the body, said brush-body being contained in the sealed cup when not in use, and the seal-closure being adapted to be broken to give access to the cup and permit the brush-body to be removed and connected with the handle, so that the brush can be used to form lather in the cup.

2. In a barbers sanitary utensil, a shavingcup having a closure in the form of a breakable seal, and a brush-body wholly within the cup, the seal-closure being adapted to be punctured, whereby the brush body can be removed and connected with a handle, and the brush afterward inserted through the punc ture of the closure to form lather in the cup.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two sul scribing witnesses.

HENRY ROSENTHAL.
